Pohlad richest owner in baseball, Forbes list shows

Several Minnesotans are sprinkled throughout the newest Forbes magazine list of the world's richest people -- and one of them is Carl Pohlad, the wealthiest among Major League Baseball's team owners.

Four MacMillans -- Whitney, Marion, Cargill and John -- sit tied for 236th with $4.4 billion each. Their wealth is from inheritance. Next is Richard Schulze of Best Buy. He's at No. 296 with $3.6 billion.

After that it's Pohlad (358th, $3.1 billion), whose pockets are the deepest of any team owner in baseball.

The New York Times in November made note of Pohlad at the top of the baseball ownership heap. At that time, the Twins had lost center fielder Torii Hunter to a more lucrative California Angels contract and would later see pitching ace Johan Santana go to the New York Mets deal for a richer deal.
